Explanation:Unless your text indicates otherwise, it appears that since this wife-mother has been awarded sole decision-making power regarding health (probably education, too) and residence, it is likely that she also has been granted sole custody. Note sole custody may still imply visitation, except in a case, as below, where the husband has been abusive of her, of alcohol, or both, and does not rehabilitate. Thus, it does not follow from the award of sole custody that the wife-mother can leave the state.

In my view, to translate "bestimmen" as "determine" is too close to the German. In English, it comes down to freedom of choice, not dictatorial power.

"The model statute specifies that it is in the best interest of the child to reside with the non-violent parent and that this parent should be able *to choose the location of the residence, even if it is in another state.* The noncustodial parent may also be denied access to the child's medical and educational records if such information could be used to locate the custodial parent."
